The IKEA Alex drawers are $79 until July 30th. So you can build a vanity for well under $250

[@jeanetteperez7135]

[@jessicaleanos1751]

Is there a coupon code ???

[@tiny.t00t]

Jessica Leanos no

[@waterslays]

Or go to Office Depot they have it for $53

[@sweetbrownsuga504]

@@waterslays Really???! Are they better than the ones at Michaels??

[@ytrendavail9388]

Make sure you read the comments also and if you decide to get this Michaels do have the entire set up now so it’s a one stop shop

[@carisstabrowning3910]

What is the name of the drawers?? Cause I’ve searched michaels up & down & can NOT find them!

[@elenaa8990]

Carissta Browning they’re sold out everywhere 😭

[@kyaaune]

Lena A Ik! Im so sad 🥺! Im getting my room done soon and i wanted to find a cheaper route to make a vanity 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@KayyLA]

I updated the links in the description so that you guys can click straight to the items.

[@thechambers925]

I literally spent $207 at michaels yesterday for those drawers

[@thechambers925]

Kayy LA i clicked on that link for the board ordered it picked it up n it wasnt wide enough for my vanity WIDTH wise.. i couldnt find any 16x52 inch board

[@toyiadecorcreations]

Thinking about doing this for my office and hang a light up mirror on wall 🥰😍😍😂

[@elizabethlaney6091]

Great job! But I wouldn’t say this is the “cheaper” version - it is the “less expensive” version!!!! Because it doesn’t look cheap at all!! 😊

[@KayyLA]

Thank you 🥰

[@TheJoyce306]

Hey for your board did you make any adjustments to it? I got the same exact board and drawers from your links but my board isn’t as wide as the drawers 🥴🥴soo I’m like did I do something wrong 😭

[@kvlogz1529]

Exactly!!^

[@arethablackwell5820]

I just made mine and had the same exact problem 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

[@jessicawillie3482]

I like yesss❤

[@ceciliatowns3837]

Where did you get the table top?

[@rebelqueen25]

Do they make these in black I’ve checked everywhere and so far it looks like the don’t ☹️ any recommendations for something similar but black??? Might just have to grab some spray paint

[@KayyLA]

I haven't seen black anywhere.. best bet is to spray paint it

[@marvill1629]

Got black ones at Ikea

[@emilyloveland6315]

I am looking for the top part the shelf, you said home depot? I am not sure where to buy the top portion to make the desk. Thanks!

[@KayyLA]

They have the whole set at Michaels now

[@denisseamaro767]

Yeaaah sisss!!😳😍

[@kathy12345671]

these drawers are so expensive now :(

[@tiny.t00t]

The $96 drawers at Michael’s aren’t the same as the $40 drawers. The latter is often sold out

[@KayyLA]

They were always expensive. The only reason I got them at such a low price is because they had a good coupon that particular day.. I did this way before the whole pandemic so Michaels is not giving out really good discounts at the moment ..so just keep checking in every now and then to see if the prices change.

[@angelicasanchez4597]

:(

[@anahymartinez1522]

They haven’t restocked them in months 🥺

[@thehaloeffectbyangel]

They are sale for 60 right now

[@marthag.hernandezromero9750]

How did you find them because i looked in michaels and they were out of stock

[@KayyLA]

Martha Hernandez you’ll have to call your nearest Michaels and see when they’ll have them in stock

[@jaucorriedrew4421]

I lucked up and they had them in stock. I just got them today. Just keep checking.

[@naii8213]

Maybe you can order on line from a different state or city

[@foreverjenn7249]

Jaucorrie Drew do you happen to to have the link for the michales you got it through?

[@jaucorriedrew4421]

ForeverJenn when I typed them in it says currently unavailable. I was on my app so I’m not sure how to send the link.

[@nikkiwilson1567]

The wood you got from Home Depot was what size ?

[@serenacollins6301]

the link isn’t 48X16.. I wish I read the comments before I ordered lol.. the link is 48X13.78 (14) i’m chatting with a home depot employee now trying to get the right one ordered (48X16)

[@jaydaph730]

Beautiful

[@marissatapia51]

what can i get to make it taller?

[@KayyLA]

There’s so space cubby things that Michaels also sale on their website : www.michaels.com/wood-storage-cube-by-recollections/10624089.html

[@migdi242424]

Why glue?? Just screw from underneath.. This way you can take apart if you need to.

[@KayyLA]

saves time ..

[@821kellz]

How did you get them so cheap? Was it $90 a piece or together?

[@KayyLA]

it was $90 together .. they were on sale and I was able to use an additional coupon that included sale items.. (I didn't just come up with the idea.. I waited until I saw the best prices and then bought them). So sometimes you have to wait until there are good coupons on the website to get that cheap total.

[@cheohnniesapp1560]

What’s the shelf measurement??

[@KayyLA]

Che'Ohnnie Sapp 48 x 16

[@rozyrositah]

Is that a real wooden shelf that you added?

[@thechambers925]

I cannot find that board in 16 inches wide nowhere smh ii looked around all yesterday

[@KayyLA]

Ron & Bhaddey if you can’t find it ... Michaels also has a table shelf that can go with it on their website

[@angelathanasiu]

its 2022 now so i have to ask..are those drawers still holding up for you? Has anything fell apart in the drawers. I had to ask because on th wbsite these drawers have very bad reviews

[@KayyLA]

nope they are still as good as new

[@angelathanasiu]

@@KayyLA THANK YOU :) i just needed to know because my husband just bought me them on ebay for $31 each. Someone from vietnam had 2 of them & My husband snatched them up for me.

[@pynkprintcollection9204]

How do you like the drawers now

[@KayyLA]

Still in good condition!! I'm glad I found this right before covid hit hard!

[@lydiahiott6164]

What did you sit on??

[@KayyLA]

Lydia Hiott a roller chair (no back rest) ..kinda like the ones at the nail salon

[@stephanyr6473]

So you fine that those drawrs are tall enough to sit under like a desk ?

[@stephanyr6473]

Find *

[@KayyLA]

I have a low chair so I’m fine with it ... if you still trying to do the diy you could always find something that lifts it up off the floor a little higher

[@jonathanruiz1543]

I was trying to surprise my gf but micheals no longer sells them what a bummer discontinued them I asked an employee

[@KayyLA]

Call around and see if any other stores have some left because I know my store does.

Doesn't look like enough room to sit under the desk.

I mean it’s your preference.. honestly I’m fine with it. I, myself personally don’t need to stretch my legs out long and wide while sitting so it didn’t matter to me.
